Steve,
Thank you! I have seen the doc as well. My question is how this is applicable to NFS based VMs
There is not lun here. The vmware datastore is on NFS volume. VMWARE to Netapp NFS is 4k, right?

May want to read the best practices TR below. 

 

 

Page 20

Create LUNs with SnapDrive for Windows or SnapCenter whenever possible. If you want to create LUNs with DiskManager or other tools, make sure that allocation unit size is set to 64K for partitions during formatting the LUNs.

that is residing on NFS (not VMFS or RDM) datastore.

Is it still 4K? MS recommendations are for larger size (64K)

NFS datastore!
